Unified visibility has improved security monitoring and simplifies compliance across environments
The best features Armor Anywhere offers are definitely the centralized visibility and managed security layer. Having a single dashboard to see security posture across environments is a big advantage. The centralized dashboard enables us to get better visibility in a UI form. It also helps with compliance reporting for audits and reviews. Overall, it improves the security posture and reduces operational overhead for the team. We've seen faster incident response times and fewer false alerts because of the automation and integration. From a compliance standpoint, it has helped us maintain consistent controls and simplified reporting for audits because of the automation. Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture. It provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well. It has provided us a good balance of compliance and monitoring, simplified our security across environments, while giving us great visibility on all things.

Customers have found quick incident response and proactive security management through effective threat detection
Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective. I am extremely happy with the quick response from the Secureworks team. After the Sophos merger, I look forward to seeing a better and more enhanced version of the product. The team does a phenomenal job with automatic maintenance.

Pros

"Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture; it provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well, providing a good balance of compliance and monitoring while simplifying our security across environments and giving us great visibility on all things."
"The pricing is flexible."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"The most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"Securworks' threat intel seems pretty decent, and they integrate with several solutions we have, such as Azure AD, so all our Microsoft 365 stuff is covered."
"We don't have a full SOC, so it's helpful to have them sifting through our alerts and only bringing actionable items to us."
"This solution gathers the information logs from all devices and correlates all the information. It notifies us of any critical events taking place across our networks which has been valuable."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
 

Cons

"There is not much to dislike about Armor Anywhere, but the dashboard could be more customizable for different team roles."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
"The integration would look better with other products, with other EDRs, with other firewalls, with other older versions of firewalls, and the versions of software and hardware."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"We did a PoC of their next-gen antivirus product, but it wasn't ready yet. It was underdeveloped and caused a lot of issues. We'd like to move away from Carbon Black, but they said that it's probably still not to a point where we'd be happy with it. Carbon Black and RedCloak seem to work fine for us."
"Dell Secureworks is for higher-end customers and it's not quite as straightforward to implement or to get up and running as some of the other solutions."
"The integration with the Carbon Black sensor could be better. ManagedXDR doesn't seem to know how to extract the forensic data from an endpoint that was quarantined by Carbon Black."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Initially, the cost was going to be something around $160 or $170. And eventually, I think they brought it down to $110 and they also threw in some endpoint protection platforms."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable. One agent costs approximately 270 dirhams/70 USD for one year. There is a reduction in cost per licence as the number of licences used increases."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
